As part of our elements series, this vinyasa yoga audio class is inspired by fire and works to strengthen the arms, the core, and our sense of self.

Manipura, the ‘solar plexus’, is our third chakra and our energetic fire center. Located just above the belly button, Manipura governs our inner power and digestive energy (in the physical and figurative sense). Fire helps us transform ideas into action and food into energy.

• When the fire element is weak, we lack confidence, have poor digestion, and feel an overall sense of incompetence.
• When it's too strong, we may become overly fiery, angry, irritable, and tend to push ourselves too hard - leading to sickness and "burnout".
• When the fire element is balanced, we feel physically and mentally powerful, confident in our ability to complete tasks, easily able to tell right from wrong, and best able to care for ourselves (understand our limits and meet them with grace).

This vinyasa yoga class is designed to help balance the fire element in all of us. We'll bring the heat and and raise the heart rate with encouragement to listen to the body and meet our limit with grace.
